okay, so better late than never, right? first of all, i loved making my wifey list – it actually really helped me with my husband list. because, before i made my personal list, i struggled with coming up with even ten things for my husband list. but once i started listing things i want to bring into my marriage, it helped me think about what i really desire in my husband. so, here’s my wifey list:
1~ always pursuing a relationship with God
2~ tender and respectful
3~ openly communicative
4~ self-sufficient yet submissive
5~ hard worker
6~ good house/home keeper
7~ maintain a sense of humor
8~ loyal {won’t speak ill of my husband}
9~ peace seeker
10~ confident in who i am and in Christ’s love and protection

okay, so that was the easy part. i’ve struggled more with the non-wifey list. i am 33 and have never been married or had kids, so i feel like i have already done a lot of the things i would tend to list. so, i was thinking maybe i’d list those things i’m happy to have already been given the opportunity to do, and add the things i would like to do before getting married.
1~ spend new year’s eve {my birthday!!} in times square in nyc – done!
2~ travel – i’ve been to almost all 50 states, so i’d say mostly done {i’d love for future trips, maybe to other countries, to be made with my husband :)}
3~ start my own business – done!
4~ have a child live with me – done! {it wasn’t officially a fostering thing, but i was able to take in a girl who needed a home for awhile}
5~ learn who i am, experiment and have fun with my style – done! from tattoos to crazy hair colors, it’s been fun to get to do what i want, how i want, with my style, and i trust that God has a guy for me who will love all my crazy ways 🙂
6~ mentor younger girls ~ done! and doing. 🙂 i know that when i am married and possibly have children, i might not have the time to pour into others the way i get to now. i absolutely cherish the time i get to spend with my teen girls from church
7~ pay off debt – not done! this is a big one for me.
8~ start my other business, the one i’ve held in my heart for a long time, and need a miracle from God in order to make it happen 🙂
9~ get healthy – i am sure this is something that is easier to accomplish while single, so i need to get on it already!
10~ learn to successfully garden – because i’m a hippie-ish nerd 🙂

You have done so much already!! And to think God has so much more in store!! So excited for this season for you girl!! I have no doubt he has someone absolutely Ahhhhmazing on the way for you in His perfect timing!! XOXO
